Running Home Run Derby Thread

Does Big & Rich have compromising photos of Berman? Why in God's name are they at every ESPN event? I kept hoping they'd light on fire with the pyrotechnics, but no such luck.

AJ Pierzynski, in an obvious attempt to prove he's not the asshole everyone thinks he is, pulls a page out of Jason Kidd's book and brings his infant child to an interview...and therey confirms everything you've ever heard about him. Oh well at least his daughter has a smaller head than T.J. Kidd.

David Wright cursed!! Oh no!!! But he's so dreamy and perfect!

you know, the city thing is like the band that inserts the name of the city they're playing into the song. Yeah, it's pandering, and yeah, it shows a lack of conviction or guts or anything, but I don't have too much of a problem with it.

Yeah! I always liked it when Huey Lewis put HARTFORD into "The Heart of Rock-n-Roll!"

Also, my favorite Joe Morgan moment thus far: When he says Jose Reyes needed time to adapt to New York.

Yes. He also had to cure whatever ailed his hamstrings before he could hit his stride (so to speak).

Joe, you are a clueless asshole.

Is it really a thrill of some kind for people to hear the name of their towns?

 

[shockey]

the ball mlb uses in this bull is soooooo juiced. what a joke.

Some people, yes.

That makes me sad.

I try not to think about stupid people. Makes me sad, too. Just block it out.

Papi's going nuts on the Allegheny. Man, watching this makes me think fondly of the Pittsburgh days.

sweet job by ESPN, by the way, to plant its giant Baseball Tonight set right in the middle of that tremendous right-center view at PNC. Guess it's not a huge deal at night (or at all), but it's not like they're even using the scenery as their own backdrop.

Ortiz is gonna kill somebody.

1) Great response.

2) Yes, some people will be on Cloud 9 for a week knowing Leather-tongue mentioned their town.

3) Great response.

So close on that one, so close.

God willing.

*******, Ortiz is good. ARod would have swung and missed 10 times!

Starting to wonder if I have Ortiz shot-calling powers...

That big bridge out in center, that big yellow thing, how ugly is THAT, huh??? 8)

I miss that big yellow bridge!

 

[broadway joe]

I'm surprised no one has picked up on Morgan's statement that scoring runs is easier than driving in runs. That would be good for 10 pages of debate on the baseball thread.

 

[Songbird]

Credit where credit's due: some of the camera shots are cool.

I actually like the bridge a lot, especially in shots from the park. I's just, y'know.

And joe, if we were to debate the veracity of things being said on this broadcast, we'd probably kill the board.
